Hilda Trevor Was not a pleasant-look ing woman. 1 say “woman” because, though l am reluctantly obliged to admit that she must have once been a girl, so lit vie of the girl remained that, had any body told tne that she was born at the age of -10, 1 should have found little difficulty in believing it. There was something hard aud unapproachable in everything about her. She was hard from her straight brows tiud massive chin down to the pointy, of her nointed boots, which shone as it tipped with some metal. YVben Rite was annoyed an ugly scowl would spread over her face—and what a scowl! She seemed in a moment to become an other being—her eyes glared, lines sprang up which age never made, and her lips, which were naturally rather full and pas sionate, drew tightly together until they became livid. For several seconds she would remain motionless and stony, and l leel sure that, had a steel been drawn across her clenched hand, it would have made the sparks fly; the next moment she was herself again. 1 only saw her once under the influence of one oi these silent furious fits of temper, and l hope 1 may never see its like again. When 1 say that she never took much notice of me, i am only speaking the truth, however much it may hurt my feelings. So if 1 venture to tell you how it was that I saw her in her terrible wrath, she will never recognize mv hand in it. I do not want you to think that she was plain or wanting m attraction; on the con trary, she was rather good-looking. She had magnificent eyes, well-cut features, w(di-slutpod hands and a tine figure. Sue was essentially what is called "a fine woman,” and few people would pass her without, taking a glance at her. In fact, aha lnuf been a beauty, and a very haughty mfli iui tangere beauty, too, 1 expect. Not Urn sert-of oaut.y to caress and say pretty things to, but one to put on a pedestal and admire from a distance. While thanking rruvj&enee she did not belong to ypu, 1 suppose she often thought of that “had been,” with its lost opportunities, which, pertyips, accounted for her expression in rdjxHf.'pejng a mixture of disappointment and (IfitiaOee. She hud lately begun to re alize that the many oilers qhe had scorn tully declined long ago did not prevent her from growing old, and the thought of it, while making her uneasy and at times desperate, did not tend to improve either her temper or her appearance. Now that men, from constant snubbing, kept away from her, she did all she could in the un bending way natural to her to attract them; need 1 say, with little success? Rke got her father, with whom slip lived alone, to give party after party ; but noth ing came of them. . Men ate his dinners, drank his wines, were coldly polite to her, and that was all. It was in vain she adopted the most fashionable and juvenile attire,beginning to admit, With reluctance,' tbe power of such things over the mascu line neart,. She even put on a xmtjKim of rouge (“I’m getting so pale,” she said to herself, in excuse), but as yet there had not been the semblance ol an aspi rant*. JJLV Sue was much too independent to re unite'a waid to accompany her in her walks, hut as she was going along the Kromptop foad one afternoon she began Wondering whether such a protection would not in some measure assist in giv imfiier a more youthful appearance.

He won’t—” „ " J* e " stopped and ran up stairs. Mr. 1 revor seemed surprised, as well he might, at the irrelevancy of her remark, tuit being a somewhat indifferent man he soon forgot ail about his question aud its unfinished answer. Miss Trevor was scarlet when she got to her room, not so much at the though t of this man’s marked admiration f what else could he be follow, ing her for?) bfft rather because she had so nearly behaved like a girl in her toons before her lather, who would only have laughed at her and pooh-poohed the no tion ot the man having noticed her at all, except in her own imagination; besides, she wus not in the habit ot making a con fidant of her father. It was long since any man had eared for the society ot Hilda Trevor, and though of course she still did her best to try aud please those who came to her father’s house, she did so with considerable weariness, feeling every day how r useless it all was. Therefore you must make some allowance for her when 1 say that this man was very much in her thoughts as she dressed herself with more than usual care for the ball she w as going to that evening; just as if she knew he would be there, when, alter all, nothing was more unlikely. As she took a last look at herself in the glass she said. “1 think 1 look very well to-night—for an old maid,” she added, with a bitter smile. And she did look very well, for I saw her. The rouge was well, not too well, managed, and far front looking old raaid ish, she gave me the idea of a very hand some woman. ’ , 1 have noticed that when women pro claim, not only to themselves, but openly, that they' intend to bo old maids, vou nmy lake it tor granted that they have strong hopes of somebody proposing to them whom they intend to accept uncondition ally, and the fact that Hilda made that remark to her looking-glass, and shortly afterward to her father, only goes to strengthen my observation. She started for the ball in very good spirits, in spite of feeling that she would probably snine only in the capacity ot a wall-flower, lor she was much above dancing with Tom, Dick and Harry. Toward midnight she had been sitting out long enough to make her look sullen and unapproachable. Every now and then her glance wandered toward the door, as if she expected some bady; hut ail she saw was the usual half dozen unhappy-looking men, who are al ways to be seen,leaning against the wails at the doorway of a ball-room, getting in everybody’s way, and with difficulty keep ing from yawning. Why don’t tney go to bed, if they neither want, to dance or speak to anybody, in stead of wearing out the back of their coats, and depriving themselves of that rest whica they Seem so much to re quire? Suddenly her eyes brightened, though she could scarcely believe what she saw, and was half inclined to think it was the result of thinking too much of her late ad venture. For there was her unknown triend among the melancholy band, star ing at her as if he meant to take a mental photograph of her. llut though he stared as usual, he made no effort to get intro duced to her, which she expected and hoped,or even to move away from where she first saw him. Hilda could not very well make any advances, so she was obliged to wait os patiently as she could tor events to develop. Of course, to add to her vexation, ( why was he so shy? lie didn’t look as if afflicted with that obsolete virtue,) several men, emboldened by her sweet expression, perhaps, now came and asked for a dance; men of the kind every woman knows —thick-skinned and incap able of seeing that they are unwelcome, anil who always want to snap up td“B■> dances which she is keeping for her par ticular friemls. feeing how engrossed she was in this man, it is not surprising that she refused them one and all with little ceremony, fearing that, ifshogave one dance awuy, it might be the very one he would want. Two or threo times the ominous scowl was produced for the benefit of the more importunate of them, no one of which escaped Jack; anil the angrier she got toe more interested did he seem to be iu his observation. When the last of her white-tied persecutors had been successfully frowned away you may imagine Hilda’s feelings when she saw her hero quietly walk off. He did not come hack either; so, still more puzzled, and for the first time rather disap pointed in him, she hastened to find her father and insisted on goitig home at ouce. “Well, Hilda; enjoyed yourself?” said Mr. Trevor, who had been holding excel lent hands at whist, and was in a good humor in consequence. Miss Trevor was seriously put out, for all she replied was, “No, bored rather more than usual,’’ ami then pretended to go to sleep, lint ate was still thinking ol her mysterious friend, and wondering who he could he. The more she thought of him, the more inclined she was to con clude that the whole tiling was a myth, and that the man, whose behavior w as ho strange, only existed in her imagination; lor, after all, she had never seen him s|a*ak hi, or appear to know, anybody. It was rattier a shook to her to admit that she must have seen a vision, and that, 100, in the shape of a handsome man. (Hill, as a week wont by, and neither in Itroiupton road nor anywhere else did she see a sign of him, stie made lip her mind ihgt he must have been the result of a disordered digestion, now , happily,itself again. However, the disorder returned, and under such exceptional circumstances that she was obliged to acknowledge that he was flesh and blood; and very glad she was to do it, too. It was about a fortnight since the ball, and Hilda whs having one at her own house. It was one ol the Is-sl in her circle ( Mr. Trevor did those sort of things well), and the rooms were crowded with pi-ell. women and irreproachably dressed men. Hilda was taking a well-earned rest niter her exertions us hostess, in the coiji jinny ol a man friend, writb whom she was quarreling wiih all the vigor of a really old friendship.

By a supreme effort she forced herself to talk on trivial subjects for a few minutes and then, us if Mpro|os ol nothing, she said: “I never knew 1 was short. sighted, or. perhaps with age, I am getting blind, hut I can’t see across the room very well. Who is that fair man standing against the wall by the I<sir?” “lly .Jova l" replied fcisaieer, “it’s Jack Mursdeu. [I didn’t know you knew him.’’ J “i don't,T laid Hilda, greatly relieved SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, .TUNE 7, 1885. to tiud he really was alive after all. “I wonder how he got here?” “Oh, 1 suppose somebody brought him; people have such cheek about that sort >t thing—think nothing of bringing half a dozen fellows to one’s house, and girls to dance with them, too. But Jack’s a capital chap—old friend of mine—artist, you know—shall l introduce you io him? Sure you’ll like him,” ami he half rose. Hilda had no intention of letiiug Spen cer know under what peculiar circum stances she had aln-ady seen his friend, but it was with difficulty that she hid the satisfaction she felt at the information ho had given her. “Very well,” she said, with well-feign ed indifference, “you can introduce him; he does look rather nice, now 1 have had a look at him.” Jack was presently brought up, aud formally introduced; though, as usual, neither heard the othtf’s name. He did not ask her to dance; hut, sitting down in Spencer’s vacant seat, laughingly refer red to having seen her before, at which she blushed nicely, and admitted some dim recollection of him somewhere—As cot or Lord's,” she naively suggested. Jack utterly iguored this transparent fiction. “I’m afraid you must have thought me awfully rude, hut 1 rather stare at every body, so, of course, 1 would at you.” (The “you” emphasized in Jack’s best manner.) “D dn’t I sec you at. the Mathews’?” she said, presently. “1 thought 1 recog nized you in the crowd,but 1 am not sure,” she added, still clinging to her obviously useless fiction in the fear of letting him know she had looked at nobody else. “Yes, 1 saw you, but I was afraid of you. you looked so charmingly angry, and at last you frightened me away, as you did tne other men, who, bolder 'than my self, actually tried to tempt you io dance.” In spite of this unpromising beginning Jack managed to make himself uncom monly agreeable, as he always could when he bad an object in view'. Before they parted they were the best friends imaginable, and Jack made their farewell quite an affecting little allair. Sjon af ter Jack dined with Mr. Trevor, which led naturally to an intimacy between Hilda and himself, which seemed mutu ally agreeable. lie told her how he first began painting, bis early struggles, and enlarged, with all the egotism of an artist, on his method and its advantages. He amused her by telling her, in the happiest way, his many adventures when In search of those situations which should be, as nearly as possible, identical with the sub ject he was painting. 1 won’t yield to the temptation of becoming prolix by detail ing how they met everywhere, and how everybody was talking of Maraden’s in fatuation for that queer Miss Trevor. Suffice it to sav that Jack rows 11y seemed smitten with Hilda} and as for Hilda, one scarcely ever saw her scowl now. and in her own heart she hoped everything from the devotion ol her new friend. But though he was always at her side at the various entertainments at which they always managed to meet, he had not said a word wtiieh could he tortured into any thing approaching the serious auil matri monial. Persiflage formed the staple of their conversation, and he seemed to take a never-ending pleasure in saying those little nothings most calculated to pique her. aud at times maso her positively angry. Still, as he always seemed so peni tent, Hilda possessed her soul in patience and waited. One evening they were sit ting together as usual, at a small soiree, and Jack was evidently indulging himself in bis favorite amusement, for Hilda’s scowl was on the point ot appearing more than once. Spencer, who was also there, walked up to shake hands with both of them, when Marsden, who had hardly said a word for some time, suddenly got up, as it he had come to a serious resolu tion. lie went straight up to a particu larly pretty woman, who was surrounded by a number of gentlemen, and who was making herself very charming to them all, to judge by their pleased expressions. As soon as Marsden joined them, howev er, she pother arm in his, and they walk ed a little nearer Hilda, talking in low trines. Spencer just then passed them on his way to the door, when Marsden stop ped him and whispered: “Ho and tell Hilda who this is. She’s sure to ask you, and 1 have a particular reason for her knowing it now.” Nobody could refuse Jack, and Spencer went hack to Hilda, wlio hail been watching those roaim-uvres with growing surprise. The moment Spencer had gone on his unpleasant mis sion, Marsden disappeared, or raiher went, and placed himself where he could see Hilda's lace without being seen him self. As he had anticipated. It was not long be lore Hilda, vainly trying to appear indifferent, asked who the lady was Mars den hud just left. “Don’t you know? Why, that’s his wife,” said Spencer, as If he wore saying the most important thing in tho world. “It’s a lie, and you know it is,” retorted Hilda, in a low, angry hiss, utterly for getting herself iu thef suddenness of the revelation. Spencer was naturally taken aback at the vehemence of this unladylike remark, but, Immediately understanding the state ol affairs, und being a prudent man, he ignored her violence, and merely replied thut there was no doubt of it, und that he bad known her a long time; and wus go ing to enliyge on her many attractions (surely a want of tact alter beginning so well) when the sight of Hilda's lace stop ped him, as if he had been shot. Despair, bate, and impotent rage crossed her face like hlai-k shadow s; In an instant she became livid, her teeth clinched like a vice, und a scowl spread over her lace till she looked like a chained devil. Site seemed tinned to stone, except that her eyes glared in the most horrible manner, and there wus murder, nothing short of it, in the fierce look which she fixed on the unconscious Mrs. Marsden. It wus all done in a moment, and when Mr. Trevor came up to say he had seen Marsden bur rytug out with a muttered “important telegram,” all he noticed was the paleness ol Hilda’s fce. “Let's go home, papa,” she said in a broken voice; "I don’t know wtiat is the matter with me, but 1 feel awfully ill.” 1 will pass over the paroxysms of rage that poor Hilda went through during the next week, while she obstinately refused to leave h“r room, or even spssk to any body. One day when she peemod calmer, and as it were exhausted by ihe relent less bitterness of her thoughts, site was idly looking over, without reading, one of the ••.■Society Tapers,” when tho following paragraph urrested bur at tention: “Mr. Marsden. whose mythological pic tures ure so eagerly looked tor at Burling ton House, has, we hear, another work, very vigorously treated, almost ready to submit U> the hungers.

From thr Cour*tr- t loumo'. ! Thirteen juvenile burglars tiled out of ! the prisoners’ dock as llitir names were called in the City Court and took position ;at the bar to answer the charge of break ing into a grocery at Fifteenth and Wal nut streets. Mr. Armstrong explained to the court that he bought the stook of [ groceries at an assignee’s sale, ami amoug the articles purchased was a lotot tobacco. When he took possession next day he c<>uta (iml no tobacco. Its absence was explained by the discovery that tlio win dow had boon broken amt the place en tered by some hoys, and the police began to work up the burglary. When the hoys learned that they wore being shadowed | they made a break for the station houses and surrendered. Thoir ages van from !i to lb years, and they presented the appear ance of being as innocent a lot of hoys as ever broke a window or learned how to chew tobacco. Their names were John and Jacob Vo i gle. George and W’tu. Howard, Win. I Stonily, Joseph Nitekum, Julius I’hilllps, Nick Nock, Wm. Weplor, Frank Donley, . Henry Hue, John Keenan and Andy bi nd), and alter the officers produced the ! tobacco which they had found when told 1 hy the boys where it was, Joseph Nite kum w T as put on the stand and told the court all about it. Ho deported himself in a very manly manner, making himself the greatest offender and impressed t-e court and audience w ith the belief tluit he was tolling the “truth, the whole truth and nothing hut the truth.” Unsaid that he visited the place in company with Ul rich Howard and two or three others, and, with the permission of the man in charge, went into the yard to get some books and papers that were in an outhouse. Alter getting them they conceived an idea of breaking the window and entering the store, and he broke the window and went in first, lollowed.by bis ooitipiuiione. He selected for himsell three bars of soap, a twist ot tobacco and ten ginger snaps, ami the rest took what they w anted. They went to Seventeenth street, where they told the other boys of thuir lind, and they went to the store and helped them selves. John Keenan was placed on picket l > watch w hile tbo last, gang en tered. and each gave him a portion cf the booty for his services. There was no evidence against Stolnlv, Weplor and Willie Ilowaid, and they wore discharged, hut the Judge read the law lo the rest of the class, those who entered the store after the first gang had gone wore each lined $2O, the tine to he suspended on condition that their patents would admin uter severe floggings to each one, anil the advance guards were detained for further action. A rule was issued against the pm rents of Nitekum, yivich, George Howard, Keen an 'and one or two others to show cause why their young hopefuls should not be sent to the House pf Utdiige. I'he rule was made returnable to-dav, and the proceedings promise to lutveiy interest ing. None of-the hoys seemed lo realize the full import of the proceedings until the Court began tp talk about the House of liefiige, and then they began Pi look serious and wear more aged expressions. Up to that time they were a jolly group, and when asked what base ball nine they belonged to replied: “The house-break ers.” There was, however, throughout the trial a marked difference between them and older offenders. Notone of them of fered an excuse or sought to lay the blame on another or initiate the nfrense. and altogether it was a, very iutpreming trial. Four of the hoys who were concerned in the offense were sentenced to the House of itefuge this morning. Their parents were told by the Judge that it they would administer a Hogging to ihe chaps the sentence to the House of Itefuge would not be enforced. The parents accepted the alternative, and, without consulting the bovs, 'he Hogging took place. Veeoh was tne first victim. He was led Into the office of the City Court Marshal and re lieved of all clothing save one shirt and a pair of pantaloons. The young ’un hud evidently been there lief ire, and knew from the peculiar glare in the eye of hi* paternal ancestor that he was not going to have a picnic. And he was right. The elder Veech took tin* strap, which was about live and a half feet long, doubled it, and, grasping it firmly, ordered Ihe boy to lie down on the sofa. He did so, and the dust began to flv. The strap was applied vigorously, and, being doubled, if got in iwo licks at each stroke, I'he boy squirmed and kicked and bellowed, but the irate lather spared him not.
